http://www.smh.com.au/news/beauty/englands-fir st-size-16-beauty-queen/2008/03/24/12062069828 35.html it brought a smile to my face this morning, about time someone of a slightly larger size got through to one of these things!

That's how it should be shouldn't it sandrajo - that lady looks far healthier than a size zero model! And happier too!

[tickledtrout]

She looked so much better than all those stick insect women on the catwalk

[bigmamma]

I saw her on the morning show on tv , I think it was Breakfast tv , and she seems a lovely girl , very pleasant , and healthy looking.;-) xxx

[sandrajo]

I think so beads, seen her on tv this morning and she was radiant looking....there's hope for us all now lol

I used to like hearing of things like this too..............until it gave people an excuse to insult thin/slim people.Some of us are naturally slim,we don't deserve your insults.

[sandrajo]

I've never insulted a slim or overweight person daffy654. I was just pointing out it's about time there was a larger lady in this competition than the usual.

Its always nice to see something away from the norm being embraced on TV
